I always get a kick out of the names these corals get, the same coral will go through a dozen people and take on a dozen different names. While I really don't care what people end up calling it I do agree it would be nice if people stuck to more typical names. It is a Acropora Florida, pictures show the color so I don't see much point in nicknames however Cherry Popper Acro is probably more consistent with others.

I also get a kck out of the names. I am also very familiar with the "cherry popper" name and where it comes from and an assumption is being made that this is the same.
The tips on mine are much more orange than red. Depending on one's system they may turn more reddish but in mine the tips are orange. Again this goes back to reticulate evolution and why the Latin name only supplies a general discription. I have also had A.florida with green tips & also yellow tips.
Anyway this coral is sold out because it is a sweet coral regardless of the name.

Yeah I have the cherry popper and it's yellow and red in my tank. One of my current favorites for sure, no wonder it sold so fast. Keep up the good work.

Yep it is a nice coral for sure. No matter the color morphs they still have a sweet contrast.
